I think that the problem some have with calling Carancas a crater is a conceptual one-- people want to think of a crater as something blasted in hard soil or rock that will be around for centuries or more-- a splat in mud that'll be gone in a year or two just doesn't seem that impressive. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
